Quote from hoop121:
she basically says they use bollingers to sell call spreads when market gets a bump higher and feels over-extended and vice-versa on the puts.
Quote from asap:
anyone should know there's no "over-extended" in the markets. anything in between zero and infinite is possible and more importantly is way more probable than probability theory suggests. in other words, the markets are full of fat tails, black swans, highly unlikely outcomes popping out of nowhere.
entering into a legged naked option position based on a bollinger or any other TA for that matter, is very naive, reckless and totally amateurish.

agreed, but you're missing the point.
Quote from cdcaveman:
what are you interesting in.... i understand your point.. but why support her claim or argue against others or disbelieve it.. Does it give you hope... are you looking for something to hold on it... some solid ground to put your feet on?
Quote from hoop121:
sure, why not. I'll take the bait and play the other side.
If you're so confident that she's got the wrong idea, then why don't you take the other side and buy a monthly strangle?
Maybe if you can make 30% a year doing that then people can interview you instead.
